<p>[QUOTE="smallaxe, post: 1454433, member: 13430"]I know almost nothing about this area, so hopefully someone can tell me something about these pieces. I suspect some family myth busting may be the result. The photos are examples of a set of dishes passed down in my wife's family. They consist of plates, bowls, and what may be tea cups without handles, all with the same transfer designs. The family history is that they are from around the Revolutionary era (of course). Based on what is known of who owned them, they are earlier than 20th century. The previous owner was my wife's 90 year old aunt who received them from her mother who received them from her mother, and murky past that. My guess is 19th century English ware, but family lore says 18th century. The family branch they are associated with was from the general vicinity of Gettysburg, PA. There are no marks anywhere that I can find. I would love to find out what the true story is about what these are, when made, etc.[ATTACH=full]224907[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]224908[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]224909[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]224910[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]224911[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
